| Post subject: | 11th Annual Sandbag Tournament Rules and Signup |
Danny K's, the 2016 Sandbag Tournament Champion, is pleased to announce the rules and signup for the 11th Annual Sandbag Tournament. Having approved the following rules, the team has elected to invite ANON to be guest commissioner for the tournament this year. He will be running the week-to-week administration of the tournament; but if there are any issues over the interpretation of the rules or other disputes, they will adjudicated/decided by Danny K's. Without further ado, here are the OFFICIAL RULES: From its inception, this tournament has been by, of, and for those teams dedicated to wetware play. Thus the main qualification for entering this tournament is that teams must be those that have committed themselves to use assembled brainpower only as a general rule. This means no computers and no references of any kind during gameplay, either paper or electronic (or telecommunication from outside the location). Using the Buzztime Playmaker app on electronic devices such as iPhones, iPads, or Droid phones is fine, of course, as long as the device is not also being used to look up or receive answers from elsewhere, and it is being used in and for the location of the team. Just to be clear, if a team engages in these activities or any form of cheating, it is a disqualifying offense. All teams that abide by this primary rule are welcome to play, either by signing up on ScaRatings or BadBart or otherwise contacting ANON. All teams must register no later than MIDNIGHT (EDT) ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. We reserve the right to personally invite additional qualified teams after the deadline to round out the field. Play will commence on September 26 and will continue weekly until the end of the tournament. If past years are any guide (and barring unforeseen circumstances), the probable ending date of the tournament will thus be NOVEMBER 14. There will be two phases to the tournament. First, a four-week qualifying phase will start on September 26 in which the total points for each team will be tracked. Each team will be able to drop one low score for the final cumulative total after the October 17 game. The top teams thus calculated will advance to the knockout phase of competition. This will give teams the ability to stay in the competition even if a glitch or system crash knocks them out one week (this seems to have happened to at least one team in almost every past tournament). In such cases, the week of the glitch/crash will serve as the dropped score for those teams. The second phase will be a standard bracketed elimination phase. The number of teams in the knockout round will depend on how many teams sign up (for example, if only 18 teams sign up, we would be more likely to have 8 rather than 16 in the final round). Seedings for the brackets will be determined by the cumulative score described above. Should Buzztime have a system-wide repeat game during the tournament, that week’s scores will be ignored and the tournament will be extended by a week. Teams faced with a sudden close or loss of Buzztime at their home location may play at another location as long as they notify ANON in advance of the game and continue to follow contest rules in the new location. In general, we take no responsibility for and offer no solution nor redress for localized problems (i.e. power outages, lack of players due to illness or vacation, etc.) with one possible exception: If a team in the semi-finals or finals suffers a documentable and unavoidable mid-game crash, its victorious opponent may invite that team to a rematch, but is under no obligation to do so. The winning team will receive not just the glory of being the brainiest bunch out there, but also the custody for one year of the beautiful Sandbag Trophy, the right to have a plaque with its team name and date inscribed on it placed on the base, and the responsibility of running the 12th annual tournament next fall. Let the sign-ups begin! Danny K's is officially in. So is The Fellowship (BWW-Kent, OH) |

ANON, I don't know how you got this stuff up so fast, considering Buzztime presented no site scores. Why Buzztime undertook to revise their rankings screens, to provide less information per screen, and in the case of premium game site scores, no information at all, cannot but mystify. |
